Chic to the Core

All things chic - at every price.

December Must-HavesDec 02, 2008

It's the season to be jolly, merry, and oh so fashionable! Don't know what to wear? Don't worry, I've got you covered.

In an always a stylish print, this houndstooth dress would look killer with some bright purple tights. Forever21 Houndstooth Wool Dress $25

A wardrobe staple is a rich, black leather bag. With a classic shape and funky accents, this one has your name on it! Hayden-Hartnett Gemma Field Tote $525

How do you punch up the winter party blahs? With a little acid yellow, of course! MINT Jodi Arnold Silk Ruffle Tank $330

With LA having a lack of snow that I'm used to, these Kenneth Jay Lane Star Drop Earrings ($98) certainly help me feel better. Who needs snow when you have glittering stars falling from your ears?

Confession: I've been jonesing for a capelet. It's a glorified poncho with slits for your arms and completely Marry Poppins chic. Yes, please! Forever21 H81 Juliette Wool Capelet $29

Add a sexy peek of red to an all black outfit and you're ready to go. Christian Louboutin Very Croise Sandals $775

 

Chic to the Core Predicts the FutureDec 01, 2008

I have achieved what is a great feat in my book. Back in September I wrote a blog about what I wanted to see the actresses of Gossip Girl wear this season. And tonight, I saw it come true! Blair was wearing the fabulous Alice + Olivia dress that I picked out for her. Just call it fashion intuition. ;)

MAC Halloween Look - She's A DollOct 03, 2008

Last year I tried out two faces from MAC's Halloween looks (my hair has grown a lot since then!). I had so much fun doing them that I couldn't wait for this years looks to be put up online. Unfortunately there were nowhere near as many to choose from as last year. None of them screamed at me but I did like the She's A Doll look since it goes along with my Blythe costume. When I actually started trying this out, the eyes looked ridiculous so I modified the look. Keep in mind I did this with the things that are already in my makeup collection which only includes one MAC product. My camera battery is dead so I had to use my phone to take the picture. Sorry for the bad quality!

 

Add a Little Spice to Your FallOct 02, 2008

Fall and spices go hand-in-hand. So do spice colors! Ever notice that the colors of fall are also the colors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and er... pumpkin? Ok, that's not a spice but these items are sure to get you in the mood for fall. Even if it was 100 degrees in the Valley yesterday.

October Must-HavesOct 02, 2008

What am I wanting for October? Let's think pink! October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and proceeds from these products go to help find a cure. As someone who has personally been touched by this cancer (my grandmother died from it in the 80s) education and early prevention are very important to me. Love youself, check those breasts, and shop guilt free for a cure!

My Emmy FavoritesSep 22, 2008

Hands down, my absolute favorite of the night was Tina Fey. Her David Meister dress was simple, elegant, and fit to perfection. She kept the accesories to a minimum with dianond earrings and a stack of bangles. I still can't get over how gorgeous she looked!

Brooke Shields looked amazing in her hot pink Badgley Mishcka dress. I love the bodice detail and the brooch to one side.

Hayden Panettiere also was wearing Badgley Mishcka and I love it! The beading and neckline are sexy and her hair is perfect.

Mariska Hargitay was a clear favorite for me in a sunny yellow Carolina Hererra gown. It looks like she's actually comfortable and the bow on her shoulder is perfect. Notice her burgundy nails?

Fall's Go-To LookSep 21, 2008

My favorite go-to look for this fall is a floral dress, long cardigan belted with a brown leather belt, and some mary-janes. Add a crinkled bag and you have a look that is not too girly and has just enough spunk. A little colder where you live? Add some ribbed tights to the mix!

 

Mademoiselle cardigan $30 - Twelve by Twelve (lose the ribbon belt)

A.B.S. dress $140 - Bluefly

Francesco Biasia bag $328 - Macy's

Not Rated mary-janes $40 - Endless

Leather belt $16.50 - Old Navy

 

 

I Love: Hats!Sep 20, 2008

I've talked about my love for hats and now that fall is rolling around it's the perfect time to put away the canvas and straw break out some knits and wool!
